As seen on Theory11's Exposé "Rarest of the Rare," Tour de Force is an in-the-hands Triumph that has been streamlined and simplified so that not only is it easy to perform, but the moves are also extremely natural and virtually undetectable. Michael goes into details on how to perform the Tour de Force Triumph, as well as five variations of the effect, including: a multiple card variation, a sandwiching variation, a table-top handling, a collectors plot, and a new deck order ending, all taught in detail! So sit back, relax, grab a deck and lets get started!

Effects included:

Tour de Force

Tour de FOUR-ACE

Croque Monsieur

Neighborhood Watch

Tribute to Vernon

Heckler

How accurate is the ad copy? nothing misleading

What's in the box? DVD

Key points: Lots of great variations are included

How are the production values: it's not filmed as professionally as other videos I have seen, and the menu was a little difficult to navigate but that does not detract from the magic or the teaching

Is it well taught: Michael walks you through exactly what you need to know

My thoughts (what I personally liked/disliked): I really did like the simplicity and clean handling of this routine

Storage? Does it "pack flat?" All you need is a deck of cards

Does it "play big?" the triumph is a wonderful classic of magic and with Michael's routine it could almost be done with any deck

How practical is this in the real world? (can it really be done?) Absolutely, this is a "worker" style effect

How original is this idea? The first trick where cards mixed face-up and face-down are magically righted was Theodore DeLand's marketed item called "Inverto" (August 1914)
